Tokyo Marui HiCapa 4.3

The standard sidearm of the Torchwood agents is an airsoft TM HiCapa 4.3, this was used due to the strict firearms controls in the UK and because of reduced insurance cost during filming. Most agents HiCapas also include an underbarrel accessory, which is actually a storage device for a natural gas canister which feeds gas into the barrel to create a muzzle flash. Interestingly only three agents can be seen firing at one time, this is apparently because only three props were made for such a purpose. Presumably this was done as only three would most likely be needed in the early part of the show.

A suppressed version of the Hi-Capa can be seen in the Season 2 episode "Meat".

Rifles

Heckler & Koch G36KV

Utilized mostly by bad guys. It can also be seen used by British soldiers, which is odd since the real Armed Forces use the L85A2 as their main assault rifle, however it is consistent with the parent show.

Heckler & Koch G36KV - 5.56x45mm
A British soldier goes down and lets go off his Heckler & Koch G36KV. Note how this one has an ELCAN mounted on it.
